Silly mainstream media

Nickelback: Rockstar.  A dumb singalong "list song" that's topping the charts now: the list is all of the cool aspirational idiot stuff that rockstars are suppose to do.  What does the radio edit do?  Bleep "drugs".  So, according to them, it's okay to be a fake, a sex maniac, a thug, a barfly, anorexic, scrounging, hyperconsuming, sex-mad, shallower than a monolayer at low vapour pressure and to pop your pills from a Pez dispenser (best line in the song) ... but even though everybody's got a drug-dealer on speed-dial, the [BLEEP]s are cheap.

Radio edits: Proving how dumb the moral majority are ever since the '80s.

(Now where did I put that Hulk Pez?)

I've been playing bleep bingo with this one on the music channels. Some of them bleep "drugs", some of them bleep "drug-dealer" as well, at least one of them has bleeped the Pez dispenser line although this may only apply to daytime viewing, and and one of them is fine with all the drug references but bleeps out "ass" in the beat up assholes line... I do not understand the reasoning behind of any of this.

That's genius, I need to try that with one of the more pornographic RnB tracks.
